| Remnants mixed on paper 11 x 16.75 |
is a mixed media drawing utilizing some of nature's creations left behind in autumn. This drawing was begun as a workshop demonstration on value. In this case, the darks move from left to right helping to explain the objects in the drawing...a tiny unhatched blue egg within a twiggy nest, some sweet gum seeds in a jar and a pie pumpkin. The objects themselves require planning and fairly good draftsmanship in the rendering. I like to think, however, that there is something bigger, more important, than each of the chosen items....it is the rhythm between them that, for me, simultaneously simplifies and empowers. So be it. My final answer.
I used: charcoal pencils, conte crayon, watercolor, powdered charcoal and gouache....quite the concoction!
